Top 5 mobile games of 2023
Diablo Immortal
Diablo fans didn’t ask for this game, but Blizzard still actively worked on it. What can you do, the money was invested and losing years of development because of thousands of dissatisfied fans is not profitable. Moreover, the noise has almost subsided – the announcement of Diablo IV returned the fans of the series faith in the bright future. And the closed beta test left users rather positive emotions.
Journalists and other lucky people who managed to touch the beta Diablo Immortal, said that the stylistics and atmosphere are transferred perfectly. The gameplay also generally caused pleasant emotions, although there were questions about the variety of content and balance. Most likely, the toy will not be top-notch and breakthrough, but interesting and fun enough for millions of gamers to kill their time in it. Let’s wait for the release and hope for the best.
Battlefield Mobile
A conditional free-to-play mobile shooter based on the Battlefield universe. The publisher is Electronic Arts, with US studio Industrial Toys in charge of development. We should not expect anything fantastically cool from this project – in all probability it will be a strong network shooter with basic Battlefield mechanics, without frills.
But considering that the genre of shooters on mobile devices is popular, and the Battlefield series is constantly on the rumor, this project will obviously attract a huge audience. As for gameplay, we will choose fighters from several classes, use military equipment and admire the traditional for the series destructibility. Judging by the first videos and screenshots, the graphics will be far from top-notch, but the maps and assets will be recognizable, which will create an attractive atmosphere.
At the moment the alpha test in the Philippines and Indonesia – it began in September 2021. The release is scheduled for 2022, unless of course something unforeseen happens.
Apex Legends Mobile
The mobile version of the ultra-popular battle royal Apex Legends is already being actively tested. However, only in a narrow circle of lucky gamers who have specially registered on the official website of the game. And only in those countries where Electronic Arts allowed it.
What is already known about Apex Legends Mobile? It will have legendary characters, the ability to play in teams of up to three people, the matches will be shorter, the action will be noticeably more, the characters’ abilities will allow you to come up with interesting strategies on the battlefield. There will be no cross-platform, the project is exclusively mobile. The distribution model is conditionally free, without pay-to-win, but with donation for cosmetic items.
And the best thing is that the game is not outsourced – it is being developed by the team of the original Apex Legends with the support of hired mobile game development specialists.
Path of Exile Mobile
A mystery covered in darkness. For more than a year on the official website of the project hangs a page with the announcement of the mobile Path of Exile, but there is no news about the release. The developers only specified that they are working on an experimental mobile version of the main project and are trying to make sure that the players have an original gaming experience.
It is known that the interface and controls will be adapted for touch control. Also, we will not see pay-to-win elements. In fact, we are waiting for a full port of Path of Exile on Android and iOS with minimal changes. Looking forward and hopefully in 2022 the release will finally happen – Diablo Immortal needs competition 🙂
Project: Ragnarök
Cross-platform MMORPG in the setting of Scandinavian mythology. The project is developed on Unreal Engine and first of all it impresses with top graphics, which looks great even on mobile devices. There are doubts that the system requirements will be too high, but it’s too early to draw conclusions.
According to the lore, we will find ourselves in a fantasy world on the eve of the apocalypse. We will be summoned to stop the end of the world and fight terrible monsters. We will meet numerous NPCs, explore different biomes (from ancient caves to city-states and deserts), climb rocks, tame mythical animals, fly and admire the changing of the time of day. The adventure will be unforgettable. At least, it seems so.
